Why can developed countries, which have an 8-hour workday and even have their unions reduce it to 7 hours a day, buy houses and cars and have 30 days of annual leave, while our people cannot even work overtime and stay up late? This is not only an economic issue, but also a social issue. Let us explore this issue from several angles.

​First, the high welfare and high wages in developed countries are based on their long-term accumulated industrial and technological dividends. Their social system and economic development model enable them to better distribute wealth and protect the rights and interests of workers. For example, Germany's manufacturing industry is famous for its high efficiency and high quality, while the United States leads the world in technological innovation. Workers in these countries not only enjoy higher wages, but also enjoy sufficient rest time and welfare protection.

​However, in our country, despite the rapid economic development, the treatment and welfare protection of workers are relatively lagging behind. In order to pursue higher profits, many companies often sacrifice employees' rest time and welfare. For example, in companies like Moudi and Mourui, employees work 12 hours a day, but their monthly income is only 6,000 yuan. This phenomenon not only affects the quality of life of employees, but is also not conducive to the long-term development of society.

So, where are the industrial dividends and technological dividends? In fact, they are all around us. China's manufacturing industry and technological innovation are also developing continuously, but how to better transform these dividends into actual benefits for workers is an urgent problem to be solved. What we need to think about is not only how to improve production efficiency, but also how to improve workers' sense of happiness and gain.
